So, to address some comments from yesterday:
1) Great to hear that some actors are off-book. Keep pressing them. It will be worth it in the end if people are truly solid on their lines.
2) It is hard to keep people from getting distracted when it is post-spring break. That's why we shortened the whole process. It is truly difficult. The more organized the directors can be about the hallway/outside time, the better. Gather props, have people try on costumes, communicate with each other about things other directors might lead or help with.
3) Outside can be a difficult rehearsal space; just stay firm with your actors about their behavior outside.
Once the re-visit days are over, the gallery will be clear again and you all can also use that space.
Did you all decide on a schedule of who runs warm-ups and hallway things? This could be helpful.
Also, did Mr. Moore or I tell anyone who might design, organize and order a t-shirt? Talk to me if you think it is you. Also, directors who have "technical" jobs like music, projections, etc, talk to Mr. Harding and tell him you are in charge of collecting CDs, songlists, DVDs, set pieces, props for all plays. You are then to be the "Naggers" so to speak and make sure all the directors are getting their acts together.
Thanks, guys.

Today was dope, Jared was owning the freestyles, Thomas was coming through big time with clothing asundries and music, and Pibl was an honorable wrestling foe, a fine practice if I do say so myself.
ReplyDeletei think we need to like... make sure people aren't leaving...that sounds weird but there are people who stand there with their backpacks on for like 15 minutes while they're waiting to be let out.....i don't get it. some people seem really focused in the hall though
ReplyDeletei can run an outside activity today... and i think i'll tell people that
ReplyDeleteFor the t-shirt:
ReplyDeleteIs it going to be a quote from someones show or something generic like "10 plays in 2 days" or whatever Sean came up w/ about Mr. Moore?
this day (yesterday) wasn't much of a productive rehearsal for me. ali tried on a costume and we were able to pick an awesome shirt for her second part. it's definitely more of a challenge looking for 70s specific costumes! my only problem for hall time is the disinterest from people. i feel like more often than not there simply aren't enough people to work as a group but when there are it's just too many and less working is involved. i'm afraid to regulate this too much...am i the only one to notice this? i might be thinking too much..
ReplyDeleteHey, what exactly is the rule for who's supposed to come to rehearsal and wait in the hall. Everyone whose director has black box that day? Just those waiting for their black box time? Only those who are ordered to? Fill me in!
ReplyDeletepractice was good for us, sean got to hear jared rap and that was really exciting. tom provine is helping us with some costume pieces and we planned out what most everyone is wearing so it was really good.
